Clocks Stop as Lawmakers Wrestle With Key 1937 Bills
Topeka reports a deadlocked legislature halting clocks at 11 36 and 11 50 as officials push past the noon deadline to finish major measures. A social welfare, tax, and conservancy package lingers with conference reports yet to be filed. The Senate approved the school book bill and began budget work while the House moved six bills to the governor and backed a highway control board study. A proposed constitutional tax reform was scrapped, and the pari mutuel wagering bill survived to remain on the calendar. Approximately 2.5 million in state appropriations were approved across five bills for salaries, maintenance, and department needs.
